Weight training for golf

[Adumb]

I've looked at quite a few articles about weight training for golf. Some say the same thing, some say very different things. Golf hits the muscles in your lats and lower back mainly, but it also hits forearms. The golf swing is an explosive movement, so do you think it would be better to add in some olympic lifts? I know how those can sometimes be used to train those explosive movements. Any ideas of what I could put in my workout that is golf specific? Thanks guys.

golf is a rotational movement. The swing involves the obliques to rotate the upper body, to train them you could do rotational movements such as woodchoppers. Legs and hips are also involved, of course. I think just working your entire body to become stronger as well as doing rotational movements for the abs would be the way to go.
